# Washita Primitive Camping Area

**[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [Arkansas](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/arkansas) › [Story](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/arkansas/story)**

Anglers and paddlers find direct access to the Ouachita River at this primitive National Forest campground located on a gravel loop road near Highway 27\. The handful of wooded sites each include metal fire rings, concrete picnic tables, and lantern poles, though the ground isn't perfectly level and works best for vans and tent camping rather than larger RVs\. Highway 27 runs close enough to generate road noise during busy daytime hours, though traffic quiets down overnight\. \[Fred S\.\]\(https://thedyrt\.com/camping/arkansas/washita\-lake\-ouachita/reviews/215433\) notes the campground is "a short distance away from Hwy 27" and describes catching bass from the river\. Both T\-Mobile and AT&T provide cell service throughout the area\. The riverbank offers easy walking access for fishing or simply exploring along the water's edge\. Sites lack restrooms and potable water, making this truly primitive camping\. Trash barrels are provided but may overflow during busy periods\. Fire rings show regular use, and campers can walk directly to the river from their sites\. For additional options, see \[places to camp near Story\]\(https://thedyrt\.com/camping/arkansas/near/story\) or check nearby \[Highway 27 Fishing Village\]\(https://thedyrt\.com/camping/arkansas/highway\-27\-lake\-ouachita\)\. This free campground works well for self\-sufficient campers seeking river access without developed amenities, particularly those planning fishing trips or short overnight stops along Highway 27\.
